You should read 24V AC across them both. If you're checking to ground, they should each read 12V AC. The top two terminals with wires to them should read 208-240V AC across them.

Except this forum is for professional car wash owners/operators and detailers to help solve each others' problems or share industry information and ideas. There are plenty of DIY sources for you to ask questions, but I assure you no one will be able to figure it out from a thumbnail photo of...

You're asking for the impossible. You've offered literally no helpful information except that there are spots. Go to the car wash that you used and ask them for help.

AirTags are great, but they're useless without an iPhone nearby. A real GPS tracker under a plastic dome would be better, you'd just have to keep the batteries replaced. I'm sure the tracker's signal can't escape from under a stainless dome or the coin box.

Greg, how long does the algaecide last after a treatment? For me, bleach at a 50/50 mix with water completely kills the stuff and it takes a couple months for it to come back.

The Electroswitch brand switches Kleen-Rite sells have the second layer make-before-break to keep the pump motor from briefly stopping when changing functions. The first layer is break-before-make so customers can't get two functions to come on at once. Coleman probably uses a different...

Unfortunately you'll go to jail for that before they do for destroying your equipment. You can't even pepper-spray them unless they're attacking you. Ask me how I know. And if you pull a gun on them, they'll go screaming for the cops. Again, ask me how I know. All you can do is get the...

I don't know if Cryptopay requires it, but some things require a static IP address. In any case, read the first post here: https://www.carwashforum.com/threads/my-15-per-month-internet-solution-for-cryptopay.12936/ I know two people who have done exactly this. One of them is still using it...

Ok, almost no one.

Start by checking for power to the motors...

A rotary switch conversion would be the only way. You can order replacement doors, but I've done two washes by filling the button holes with JB Weld and covering it with a decal. https://stacarwash.com/meter-door-decals

No, there's not any way to do that with your doors. The board only has enough outputs for the functions you have, and the "STOP" button only serves to stop the functions.

Try a 45° instead. I've used a wash with a 90° elbow and it was really awkward.

Either someone took out the sample coins or the mechanical lever is stuck. The blue arrow marks where the sample coin should be. The red arrow shows the lever that should move freely. There could be dirt or debris or rust or spider eggs keeping it from moving. Twice I've gotten calls from...

That's why you send them off with a note, so they can test it until they figure it out. Dixmor is really good, they won't just send your parts back with a "No problem found" like IDX does, and the part still doesn't work.

What does "not operate at all" mean? Are they accepting coins and not giving a pulse? Or do all coins get rejected? Are you sure power is getting to the coin acceptor?

Car Wash Chronicles isn't the worst YouTuber with a car wash, but he's not an experienced operator. You will get much better advice on this forum than from his videos. No one here is looking to profit off you. He makes money every time someone watches one of his videos. There is plenty to...

Just send the timers you know are bad to Dixmor with a note about what they're doing, and they'll repair them. The one that remains active is probably another bad timer. You'll have to narrow down the problem by moving parts around like you've done before.

I have a customer with a very similar setup with the contactors and thermal overloads. I'll go take some pictures of his and try to see how the overloads are wired. At least then I'll know if the overloads do break the control voltage when they trip. I know for sure they break the high...
